I finally finished my second hat, Sarah Bradberry's Rolled Brim Hat. This hat took me a longer time to finish because it was a larger than the first hat. I think I like doing the crown decrease most because it just gets faster and faster as the stitches become fewer and fewer.

I still have to weave in ends. I'm so lazy when it comes to doing the finishing touches to my knitting. Weaving in ends has to be my most hated knitting task.

This hat has the same "design feature" as the first hat. There is an obvious 20 stitch area where I switched balls of yarn (with my attempt at weaving in ends as I knit), a definite straight line across the knitting that doesn't hide itself well in stockinette stitch. Sigh. I need to figure out how to avoid this in the future.

*** I am not a professional pattern writer and do not have test knitters. I make every effort to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the instructions, however human error and typos do happen. I do try to correct errors/typos as soon as I discover them. I am not very good at writing up patterns and am am still learning how to improve on it. Despite this, I still enjoy sharing what I have done to knit something up; it is my way of giving back to the "knitting community" from whom I have learned so much in these past 3 years of knitting.
